PELITA FOUNDATION

In 2009 the owners of Surfcamp Lombok founded Pelita Foundation. You can read all about the Foundation’s programs at www.pelitafoundationlombok.org, (and please ‘like’ their Facebook page too!) Most of the Foundation’s programs are run from the Surfcamp, so you will meet the kids and volunteers when you get here! Guests often ask us how they can contribute to the Foundation’s programs and to the community, so we have provided a list of things below.

HELPFUL THINGS YOU CAN BRING WITH YOU

§If you own a good quality camera and are interested in doing some photography or filming while you’re here, please bring it with you! We regularly need up-to-date images and footage of our programs in action for use in social media.

§Cash to purchase a tshirt or other merchandise, or to make a donation.

§You can leave any unused medical supplies with us. Locals often come to us if they require medical attention. Wound dressings and children’s paracetamol are particularly useful.

§If you have any digital devices you no longer need – used iPad’s and notebooks/laptops with chargers are very, very valuable for our Digital Literacy classes.

IF YOU’D LIKE TO BE MORE INVOLVED

§Support us by collecting donations from friends and family before you arrive! Pelita Foundation depends solely on donations to run its programs, so all contributions are very much appreciated.

§Volunteer from home by holding a fundraising event! A little bit of your time and enthusiasm can go a very long way in helping our local community. Email us for more information!

§If you have a particular interest or talent (eg. music, sport, yoga, drama, etc), you can hold a class or workshop for the kids while you’re here. We can help you plan the activity and provide a translator : )
